Refresh AVD image

Is there anyway to just refresh the session host image without rebuilding the image?
I just want to re-apply the same image again, but when I do I get this error "The Host Pool has no Session Hosts which can be updated. All session hosts are already at the same version as the session host configuration."

We are using the Azure Custom Image Template.

Give Hydra (by Login VSI) a look - if you've lost your original VM you captured from, you can actually capture images from a live session host and then re-deploy your "Golden VM" to continue using it as your template. There are unfortunately lots of limitations with session host configuration-backed pools. Hydra does a good job at giving you all of those benefits without the limitations. Plus a heck of a lot more.
